St. Clair, 2011 i Acknowledgements As no order could ever adequately express the importance of their contributions or the extent of my gratitude for their collaboration and support, the following friends, mentors, and family are listed here in no particular order at all. My parents, for making sure I went to college and not out west in a box-car, as initially planned (there are of course more things to thank them for than there are footnotes in the present work, but I’d like to single out this one in the hopes that it will bring a smile to their faces). Judith Preckshot, for her tireless and assiduous efforts when she was the DGS in 2006 to help make sure my dossier d’admission to the University of Minnesota’s French Department was a successful one. I’d like to recognize Judith Preckshot and Eileen Sivert, too, for helping me prepare for the job market by giving me a chance to teach the 3101 course – it was a thrill from start to finish, one that provided invaluable professional experience to a young academic, and the even greater privilege of sharing my work on Rimbaud with the students at the University of Minnesota. Thanks to Dan Brewer for reading a very early version of the work on David’s Bara that figures in chapter 2, and to Dana Lindaman for inviting me to Harvard in the spring of 2010 to share my work on Rimbaud with his poetry class – it proved to be a trip that was both delightful and immensely productive (extra thanks for sharing Charles Marville’s photos of pre-Haussmann Paris). To the Department of French and Italian at the University of Minnesota for the intellectual, professional, and financial assistance I have benefitted from over the past five years. I would also like to recognize Armand Renaud, whose enlightened and generous gift to the French Department allowed me to attend the Dartmouth Institute in the summer of 2007, and Hella Mears and the Center for German and European Studies, whose material support allowed me to spend a very productive summer drafting up the third chapter of this work, as well as an essay and a presentation that may have, if indirectly, helped me earn a job. My thanks, too, to the College of Liberal Arts for their generous support over the 2009-2010 academic year. Their Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship allowed me to write a dissertation that was not only coherent, but manage (I think to everyone’s relief) to write in fewer than 1000 pages. Many sincere thanks to Seth Whidden for his intellectual generosity and spontaneous encouragement. ii Special thanks to Steve Jaksa for his intellectual companionship and inimitable friendship over more years than I care to count, and whose continued presence never fails to remind me that there are simply some things in life that “enjambent l’absence,” as René Char once put it. In a similar vein, my thanks to Christian Haines for the delightful and always provocative Wednesday night conversations at the Leaning Tower of Pizza – an improbable (or improbably utopic) place if ever there was one to begin, as the line goes, a beautiful friendship. To the committee of this dissertation, for their unfailing intellectual, academic, and material support, I acknowledge a debt approaching the unfathomable. Eileen Sivert’s sense of humor and humanity, her familiarity with the 19th-century canon, and her willingness to work outside of class on an independent study (that subsequently informed the conclusion of the present work) when I know for a fact that she was far too busy to do so speaks to her inspiring commitment to her students and to French literature. John Mowitt taught me how to read critical theory in his seminars on socio-criticism and semiotics and, indeed, a passing glance at this work’s bibliography would suffice to give the reader a sense of the importance this generous scholar has had on my writing, thinking, and reading. Indeed, the pieces on David’s Bara and the idea for the chapter on Rimbaud’s “Le Dormeur du Val” came from the stimulating conversations I’ve had with him over the years, in class and out. It is thanks to Christophe Wall-Romana that I even had the courage to write a dissertation in part on Arthur Rimbaud. He was the first professor I had the extreme good fortune to talk with when I arrived at the University of Minnesota. When I told him I wanted to work on Rimbaud and the Commune, Christophe smiled, gave me a pile of books that, when stacked in my arms, surpassed my head (an appropriate metaphor, as it turns out), and said, “We’ll have some reading to do, then.” It was only years later, when an “important scholar” from a French department that shall remain nameless breathlessly opined “Oh, Rimbaud, there’s really nothing more to say about him,” that I realized how profoundly ethical Christophe’s gesture of academic encouragement was. The only adequate way of thanking him for encouraging me to not only puzzle over the authors I’ve read for this work, but to firmly believe in the merit and fecundity of that puzzlement is to hope one day to do the same for a student in turn. Bruno Chaouat’s enthusiastic commitment to this project, often responding to drafts sent iii out within a matter of hours, and with more perspicuous and provocative comments than I knew what to do with, to say nothing of his rigorously unfailing attention to the smallest detail in any text or argument, and amiably unflappable encouragement has made the process of writing this dissertation an enjoyable one. His ceaseless dedication, immense erudition and ineffable generosity have been invaluable and inspiring from start to last. Last, but by no means least, I’d like to thank Mária Brewer. Mária’s was the first seminar I took at the University of Minnesota. Out of her class, came a project on Vallès, the beginnings of a reflection on the Commune, and an idea for thinking about the figure of the child and alterity in 19th-century French literature. In sum, without realizing it, I began writing this dissertation in Mária Brewer’s graduate seminar on Childhood as a Site of Modernity in the fall of 2006. A project can clearly change immensely from the moment one imagines it to the moment it is “out-there” in a finished form. I’d like to thank Mária Brewer, then, for her impeccable mentorship and advising, and for supporting my project when it was no doubt abundantly clear that I didn’t have the slightest idea where I was going with it. Mária was always there in such moments, an utterly invaluable and stalwartly patient counterpart to my own nervous personality, to remind me that I was up to the task, and that, in any event, the committee had my back. For that, as well as for her exceptional collaboration, the invitations to come to her undergraduate class to talk about Rimbaud (the points of departure for the first and second chapters of this dissertation), her countless letters of recommendation, and her judicious direction and advice over the years, I owe her a deep debt of gratitude. Finally, I’d like to thank my wife, Sophie, and our son, Arthur Jules Thomas. I dedicate this work to them both: to her, for putting up with a thésard with a strangely infinite patience that must be love or madness, and to him in the hopes that his life shall be long, happy, and agitée.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT This thesis examines Stevens’s evolving Modernist poetic: his thinking, both in poems and in explanatory prose, about the nature of poetic creativity, about the uses of language, and about the cultural function and value of poetry (what he called its ‘gaiety’). The method adopted is two-fold: 1) an examination of the ways in which Stevens transformed Romantic and Symbolist poetic tradition, incorporating (often in a significantly modified form) concepts developed by Valéry, Mauron, Focillon, Nietzsche, Whitehead, and Planck; 2) an assessment of the consequences of that incorporation for a critical understanding of poems written during each stage of his career. The thesis will trace the process by which concept becomes figure in the making of the poem, and is then reconceptualized in the act of reading.

  • The Liberal Illusion
    The Liberal Illusion By LOUIS VEUILLOT (1866) Translated by RT. REV. MSGR. GEORGE BARRY O’TOOLE, PH. D., S. T. D. Professor of Philosophy in The Catholic University of America, Washington, D. C. With Biographical Foreword by REV. IGNATIUS KELLY, S. T. D., Professor of Romance Languages in De Sales College, Toledo, Ohio Of old time thou hast broken my yoke, thou hast burst my bands, and thou saidst: I will not serve. — Jer. 2:20. BIOGRAPHICAL FOREWORD PALADIN, and not a mere fighter,” says Paul Claudel of Louis A Veuillot. “He fought, not for the pleasure of fighting, but in defense of a holy cause, that of the Holy City and the Temple of God.” It is just one hundred years ago, 1838, that Louis Veuillot first dedicated himself to this holy cause. “I was at Rome,” he wrote as an old man recalling that dedication. “At the parting of a road, I met God. He beckoned to me, and as I hesitated to follow, He took me by the hand and I was saved. There was nothing else; no sermons, no miracles, no learned debates. A few recollections of my unlettered father, of my untutored mother, of my brother and little sisters.” This was Louis Veuillot’s conversion, the beginning of his apostolate of the pen which was to merit him the title of “Lay Father of the Church” from Leo XIII; “Model of them who fight for sacred causes” from Pius X; and from Jules Le Maitre the epithet “le grand catholique.” In the days of the Revolution, the maternal grandmother of Veuillot, Marianne Adam, a hatchet in her hand, had defended the cross of the church of Boynes in old Gatinais.

  • Again: Vowels Or Colors? by Victor Ginsburgh &Stamos Metzidakis
    Athens Journal of Philology - Volume 6, Issue 4 – Pages 225-234 On Rimbaud’s "Vowels," Again: Vowels or Colors? † By Victor Ginsburgh & Stamos Metzidakis Arthur Rimbaud’s sonnet Vowels presents a poetic vision based ostensibly on a quasi- psychedelic or synesthetic experience. It has inspired writers, critics, painters, and singers for over a century mainly because of its often obscure form and content. From the first verse of the text, for instance, the author juxtaposes each of the normal five French vowels printed in capital letters with what appears to be a random choice of an "appropriate" color. As a result, the majority of readers assume that these colors somehow correspond, semantically speaking, to the selected vowels. In making such connections, however, our poet suggests that his specific fusion of basic colors and sounds is capable of generating not just one but multiple significations, be they religious, erotic, aesthetic, even anthropological. Yet the poem itself - an irregular French sonnet - already derives much of its obscurity from another odd feature: the faulty order of French vowels used by Rimbaud: A to O instead of A to U or Y. Formal explanations are often cited to justify this so-called "mistake." This paper demonstrates that his poem hides a different interpretation of the words used to expand upon these sound/color combinations. After all, vowels are metonymically linked to sounds, since they constitute the minimal elements of the latter. Contemporary linguists have discovered, however, that in almost all languages, colors come in the same fixed order of words - Black, White, Red, Green and Blue - that Rimbaud proposes.

  • Best Western Hôtel Littéraire Arthur Rimbaud
    Arthur Rimbaud Hôtel Littéraire 6, rue Gustave Goublier, 75010 PARIS Tél. +33 (0)1 40 40 02 02 www.hotel-litteraire-arthur-rimbaud.com 1 « …Et d’ineffables vents m’ont hélé par instants. » Arthur Rimbaud, notre premier poète ; celui qui bouleverse les adolescences paisibles, renverse notre vision de la littérature et nous ouvre les yeux sur un monde saturé de couleurs, d’émotions, de vie. Arthur Rimbaud, celui qui, par son souffle épique, a emporté notre jeunesse ; nous aussi nous avions 17 ans et avec lui, nous allions « sous le ciel », nous descendions « les fleuves impassibles » et avec lui, nous avons su « …les cieux crevant en éclairs, et les trombes Et les ressacs et les courants... » Il faut se laisser emporter par le rythme, la fulgurance des mots, le chatoiement des images et du style de Rimbaud pour découvrir dans un seul poème, voire un seul vers, le génie du plus précoce et du plus important des poètes. « Ce n’était ni le diable ni le Bon Dieu, c’était Arthur Rimbaud, c’est à dire un très grand poète, absolument original, d’une saveur unique ». (Verlaine). C’est ce bouleversement que nous voulons partager avec vous, à travers 42 chambres, des éditions originales, une bibliothèque de 500 livres, des dizaines de références, de clins d’œil. Retrouver ensemble, l’émotion de Rimbaud : il est celui, disait François Mauriac « qui ne se retourne même pas pour regarder la trace que ses pas d’enfants ont laissée sur le monde ». Arthur Rimbaud, our first poet; the poet who disrupts the peaceful years of adolescence, turns our vision of literature upside down and opens our eyes to a world full of colour, emotions and life.
